This web site is associated with
Multi Media Publishing ,
an educational and multi-lingual establishment. We have tried to expand on
the art of Arabic Music by including the various musical styles and genres
of the various countries of the Arab World (in the Middle East and North
Africa). In the old days (the first half of the 20th century), most of the
well known composers, singers and performers were mainly from Egypt, Syria
or Lebanon. However, in the second half of the 20th century, a vast number
of very talented performers and singers, from all around the Arab World,
were gaining notoriety and their music became very popular through out.
Khaleej and Yemeni Music, Jordanian and Iraqi Music, Tunis and Morocco Music
became, all favorites, thanks to the modern communication media (Radio, TV
and Satellite Broadcasting).

In this site, we have included an
overview section about Traditional Arabic Music, it's history and
evolution, structural make up and several related articles. We have
also included the various varieties of music in the different countries
of the Arab World, as well as making available Video Music DVDs from
these countries. For those of you who are interested in learning Arabic
Music, we have included a section about Comparative Arabic Music. It's
an extensive study in Arabic Music Maqamaat, Scales, Musical Forms and
Rhythms.

Sheet Music
that contains music notations of many Classical pieces, Muwashahat and
some of Um Kalthoum's songs music notations.

well known traditional composers and singers, as well as various styles
and groups that perform the well known styles such as Muwashahat, Adwar,
